Does anybody here run e-code lights? I am considering buying some since I tossed my old set of cibies cause the lense was cracked and poorly fixed, they basically weren't in such great shape anymore. Big deal e-code isnt DOT but um.. yea. I can get a pair of 7" Hella e-code H4 lights for $70 + ~$10 sh. General consensus? What do people think?

Just make sure they are adjusted properly and you should be fine.

Much better than any DOT pattern, though since 1997 most DOT patterns are very close to E code patterns. It took the DOT way too long to allow those changes.

'97 m3 (E Code ZKWs)

Because, frankly I dont know the difference between the two! Maybe the VP's are just as good and manage to not blind the people coming in the other direction quite as much.

DOT legal Hella Vision Plus (70477) "Based on e-code"

or E-code Hella (70476) not DOT. mm decisions.

1. VP are crap.

2. Hella e-code H4 are the best lighting bargain.

3. Use the standard 55/60-W bulbs.

4. Aim them properly and check yearly.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
